Mr roll - tell your mate to stop being a lazy git - if hes stupid enough to carry out market research on an internet bulliten board where anyone can reply & hell know nothing about his respondednts then hes not going to be a great success in business

Best feed back I reckon you could give him is not a link to this site but a message telling him to get off his fat arse & go round his actual target market i.e the are he will be working in  & conduct some proper research.

Suppose he lives in the north east & some rich bloke from surrey replies and says that he pays 100 quid to valet his car every weekend - does that information help him at all - especially given that he wont even know the location of his respondents.

Once every 1 or 2 months, (Being silver it doesnt get noticeably dirty)

Water, Zip Turtle Wax Car Wash

No

No, I wouldnt trust them to show the care that I would show, Ive seen enough of them in coventry popping up all over the place with their pressure washers.  That and they are complete rip offs starting at Ã,£5 for the basic wash.

WTF is with the all car park based Ã,£5 hand car washes these days that are sprouting up?  What ahappend to paying a quid for using the good old car wash machine if you couldnt be bothered to do it yourself.

it is a cash business so very useful for Mr Drug dealer/local gangster. A business (or a load of businesses) that in reality make a loss/break even can, on paper, become very profitable & a source of legitemate income.

I took my initiative and posted this on this here forum, I put it in the Cars forum so itd get those that hopefully drive.

He didnt ask me to this, I was trying to help him out with a few more opinions of those that drive.

If you dont want to answer, then dont.
